People hunger for the healing of their broken lives, but they remain confused about how to find true wholeness. As a result, many try to satisfy their hunger with counterfeit spirituality, completely missing the healing that God offers them.
In The Spirituality That Heals,The Spirituality That Heals, pastor and Bible teacher Dr. Michael Youssef introduces readers to God’s provision for their deepest needs: the manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit. And he directs readers to the unique spiritual pursuit that has the power to restore them and their relationships.
The fruit of the Holy Spirit is not a list of behaviors that must be followed. Rather, it’s a divine pattern for wholeness in life that we willingly adopt. As readers let go of their self-directed life and submit to the Holy Spirit, they’ll find that their hurts, damaged relationships, memories, emotions, doubts, anger, and fear are healed.
The fruit of the Spirit–love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control–is the source and the definition of true healing, emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. It is the only spirituality that can heal us.
Michael Youssef is the founding pastor of the non-denominational Evangelical Anglican Church of the Apostles based in Atlanta, Georgia and founder of the international preaching ministry, Leading the Way, which he also hosts.
Youssef was born in Assuit, Egypt. The Youssef's came to America in 1977, and in 1978 Michael received a master's degree in theology at Fuller Theological Seminary in California and a Ph.D. from Emory University in social anthropology. Michael served for nearly ten years with the Haggai Institute, traveling around the world more than 32 times, teaching courses in evangelism and church leadership to church leaders.
He founded The Church of The Apostles in 1987 with fewer than 40 adults with the mission to "Equip the Saints and Seek the Lost." The church has since grown to a congregation of over 3000. This church on a hill was the launching pad for Leading the Way's international ministry. He preaches, teaches and exhorts with a straightforward and uncompromising delivery, based on the authority of the inspired, infallible Word of God. His unique, firsthand understanding of the Holy Land, its history and culture, brings the Bible to life for listeners.
